I'm getting a little nervous because the FAANGS plus MSFT and TSLA are now over 12 percent of my total portfolio which doesn't seem very diversified, but man, they just keep going up.

Now that I think about it, though, 12 percent isn't all that much, right? Or is it?
FAANG and Tesla aren't bubbles. They are the companies that literally change the world. When the market does crash they will come back with a vengence.

That AARK ETF I mentioned in the other thread is managed by Catherine Wood ,I really like her but she has Tesla alone as 10% of her portfolio.

And If Biden wins (which there's no way in hell he will) the market will tank. When Trump wins you'll see a HUGE rally.

Somewhat shocking but I know that the fear for the Wall Street old timers is that the Dow Jones is the Dinosaur and Nasdaq is the top dog for headlines and growth.

They want stocks that can rise, not some stodgy piece of junk like Ford that stays at $6-9 for 25 years or GE that goes from $60 to $6 in the blink of an eye.

Dow Jones needs winners.......

Back to Exxon
Kicked out of the Dow......

There it is in a nutshell.

That’s an interesting question. Do the Dow ETFsimmediately simp the stock? If so the ****er might go negative.

Yes, from Standard Oil! Pretty ironic huh? Split about 100 years ago only to be gobbled back up.

They broke up his company into like 40 different companies. One of, if not the the largest breakups of a corporation in history.

ATT only went into like (9) Baby Bells

The stocks joining were up 2-3% after hours the night of the announcement and the ones leaving the opposite. I'm sure it'll be some short term pressure but most ppl don't hold Dow based assets.

There has been a lot of talk that Teslas wild moves the last year are people trying to front run it possibly getting added to the S&P 500 if it were able to have a full year where it made an actual profit.

Which I think it did squeeze out a small full year profit with it's last earnings. Except Tesla would be the 7th largest holding rn if it joined, not no. 450 or 320 like normal. Almost 5 trillion is indexed to the S&P 500, I've no idea what would happen.

Does anyone mind if I talk about options trading in here? I understand if it's seen as outside the purpose of this thread.

Anyway, I've just started out trying my hand at it, and I apparently need to work on my timing a bit. I bought some WMT calls for $214, and sold them yesterday for $346. I was pretty happy with my 62% profit in a few days.

Today, WMT is up more so I thought I'd check just to see what could have been (probably a bad idea). My WMT options would be worth $1260 today.

Did you buy with a short time to expiration?

I'm always slightly impressed with people that can effectively do options trading. I suck at it. I do have WMT stock though and it's done quite well.

Your 62% profit is nothing to sneeze at. Well done.
